This water sprayer, or mister, developed in collaboration with Kuramata Sangyō, a discreet manufacturer in Bunkyō, Tokyo, embodies balance of utility and elegance. Kuramata Sangyō is one of those understated ateliers of Japanese industry—rarely documented, seldom discussed—yet its presence is evident in the precision of the mechanism and the refined beauty of the finish. Their unseen craftsmanship transforms a simple sprayer into something enduring, tactile, and poetic.
Modest in form, its nickel-plated brass and stainless-steel body reveals a quiet sophistication: clean lines, durable materials, and a smooth mechanism that rewards touch. Once charged with hand-pumped air pressure, the sprayer releases a fine mist that continues even after the handle is released, offering both efficiency and ease.
Its usefulness extends beyond the garden. Equally suited for watering plants, aiding in ironing, or dispersing disinfectant solutions, this mister elevates an everyday function into an object of practical beauty.
How to Use:
To begin, loosen the wing screw and remove the pump. Fill the body to about eighty percent of its capacity with water, leaving the remaining space for air. Replace the pump and fasten the wing screw securely so no pressure escapes. Pump the handle until it grows firm beneath your hand; the sprayer is now charged. A press of the lever releases a fine, continuous mist.
Care Instructions:
When finished, always release the pressure and empty the contents. Invert the body, press the lever to let the compressed air escape, and discard any remaining liquid. Store only when dry. Avoid corrosive or flammable liquids, and if flammable solutions are ever used, empty them immediately after. Never attempt to remove the pump while pressure remains inside. If traces of lubricant from the manufacturing process appear on the surface, simply wipe them away with a soft cloth.
